A Full Respray or even Panel Respraying can take years off of your Lada, but it's vital to use a bodyshop around Stalybridge with the experience and equipment to finish the job to a high standard, at great value. Fortunatly ALL our Paint Shops and Bodyshops fulfil that criteria.

I took my Mazda 6 to this guy for a wheel bearing replacement. Should be a relatively simple job. He replaced the wheel bearing after having to order a special Mazda one in and then sent me on my way. As I drove away my dash lit up like a Christmas tree. I spoke with the guy the next day as he was already closed by this point and he said it's probably the ABS sensor. He said there's a 50/50 chance that the sensor will need replacing whenever you replace a wheel bearing (apparently only true if you don't know what you're doing). He ordered an ABS sensor which arrived almost 2 weeks later, and it was the wrong one. Yet again had to wait almost 2 weeks for the right one. When it finally arrived and was fitted, the lights on my dash refused to leave. Not only that but there was a scraping sound coming from the wheel whenever I drove anywhere, and the car was pulling to the side. In the end I relented and took the car to a more experienced garage, who told me that this guy had messed everything up. The wheel bearing was put on the wrong way round, the ABS sensor wasn't right and hadn't been set up properly, and to top it all off he'd destroyed my ABS hub with a drill after trying to get the ABS sensor plug out of its socket. Everything had to be completely rebuilt and an original £140 bill turned into well over £700 to repair the damage. I just don't appreciate someone telling me that they can do a job when they're only assuming that they can. When it comes to cars you NEED to know what you're doing before you even attempt something, because (as was proven in this case) you can cause even more damage. Such a waste of time and money! I surely won't be going for the cheapest option in the future. I'll be giving my money to someone who will do the job right first time. Luckily I managed to get my money refunded, but that doesn't get me close to what I had to pay to fix everything.

good and cheap service. Got MOT done for £27.5. I gave 4 star as I had to wait 2 and half hours.

The price was very good for a dealership. I thought to myself when they get my car in thet will tell me it needs loads of work doing it, this is exactly what happened. I ended up having a new battery and having some pipe replaced that had split in the engine. I was quoted £103.00 for the original job and i ended up paying £228.00.

What is involved during a car respray?

A car respray can be a messy job which is why using a bodyshop with a specifically designed area is the best way to ensure quality.

After cleaning the car with soap and water, the mechanic will scrub your Lada with a special sanding sponge which will help the new paint stick to the car.

All of the windows, tyres and trimmings will then be covered with newspaper and sheets as it is important not to get any paint on these parts.

Different garages have different spaces for respraying a car as some will have specialised machinery and rooms whereas others will carry out the respray in a conventional space. The mechanics themselves may spray your Lada manually as opposed to using machines if they are not a specialist body shop.

Having a professional carry out a car respray will ensure the quality of the job is ensured however if the cost of a car respray is too much you can always try it yourself.

At WhoCanFixMyCar we would recommend that you post the job in the form above and simply wait to see how much garages in Stalybridge will charge for the job. It’s a completely free service so it is worth finding out before you decide to respray your own car.

Below are the steps you need to take to respray your own car properly if the quotes you have recieved are too expensive.

How to Respray a Car

Step 1

You need to gather all of the supplies required to respray your Lada which includes; 5-10 cans of paint cans (depending on the size of your car), masking tape, lots of newspaper, a paint drip cloth, a sanding sponge, 3-4 cans of flat grey spray primer and rust killer spray.

All of these supplies can be bought online.

Step 2

It is essential that you carry out the respray on your Lada in a well ventilated area however this cannot simply be somewhere outside. If there is a high amount of sun exposure to the paint then it will ruin the work you have done, similarly, if it rains the pain will run and cause streaking on your Lada.

Many people who decide to respray their own cars do so in a garage. If you are considering doing the same thing it is vital that you cover the entire area including the floors and walls. The paint will get everywhere so cover everything!

Step 3

Your Lada needs to be completely clean and dry for the new layer of paint to stick to the exterior properly.

You should take your car to a car wash or carry out a through clean yourself with hot soapy water. This may be better than a car wash as the drive back home may result in your car picking up dirt on the journey.

Step 4

This is where you make use of your sanding sponge. Wet the sponge and scrub the entire area which will be resprayed. This will help the new layer of paint stick to the car.

Step 5

As soon as you have finished scrubbing the car with the wet sanding sponge, its time to dry the car. once more this is a vital part of getting the Lada ready for a respray.

If the weather is suitable and dry, leave the Lada out to dry further.

Step 6

If there are any rusted areas on the car then you need to ensure that they are as sanded down as much as possible as this will help the new paint cover the damage.

You also need to ensure that all of the dirt is removed from the rusted areas as this will prevent the new paint from sticking to the car.

Using spray on rust killer is a good way of helping the paint stick properly.Ensure any rusted area are covered by rust killer.

Step 7

As soon as the car is bone dry, it’s time to cover all of the fittings such as the windows, wheels and handles with masking tape, newspaper and sheets.

Step 8

Now you can begin respraying your Lada. Start by using the primer on the rusted areas as this will also help with covering the damage effectively.

Step 9

As soon as all of the damaged area are covered in primer, you can begin respraying the Lada. It is important to focus on one area of the car at a time. Such as all of the car doors individually, then the bumpers and so on. It is important to provide a light and even coat the first time around. Once this is complete you can begin with the second and third coat.

The car spray paint that you use will carry instructions in regards to how long it will take to dry so make sure to pay attention, as it may vary from brand to brand.

If you follow these instructions properly, you will have a great chance of carrying out a professional looking job.

However, there is a huge amount of care and attention required to perform an expert job which is why we would recommend having a body shop or mechanic carry out the car respray.
